Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Due to COVID-19, our students have spent way too much time interacting with screens instead of doing hands-on activities. This project will provide a way for students to have some fun and also build skills that there often isn't enough time for during the regular school day. These kits will be used in the morning before school as well as during inside recess. Starting the school day can be stressful and chaotic for many students. With students coming in at different times and eating a school breakfast there isn't time for everyone to complete morning work. Starting the day with some STEM kits will allow students who are early to build and create with different materials instead of working on the computer or completing a worksheet. The kits will also be used on the days when the class cannot go outside to play. While we rarely have rainy day recess, there are many days in the Fall and Spring when it is too warm to play outside at recess our STEM supplies are a great way to give students a chance to spend these indoor days building and creating with K'nex and Magnetic Tiles.
